PGP why cant it be more mainstream?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/privacy

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • age

    A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

  • PGP (or age, I would argue, which is superior, but fills the same space) is great for use cases precisely where you need to depend on carefully guarded long-lasting keys, like software keys and package management and things like that. But for social "hey here's that thing you wanted", I think it causes more dangers than it solves. Signal is great for stuff like that.

  • rust-minisign

    A pure Rust implementation of the Minisign signature tool.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • signify-rs

    Create cryptographic signatures for files and verify them.
